Creating future leaders
Dec 17, 2022 - Professor in New London, CTRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Connection to the next generation of Coast Guard Officers / Leaders. Beautiful campus. Fabulous colleagues.
Cons
Cold winters in New England Low operating budget and government bureaucratic processes are challenging.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Nice location, Cadets are fun
Cons
Curriculum is antiquated and there is a resistance to change anything. Too many over the hill alumni in keys roles as permanent staff keep the place stuck in the past. Passed over junior officers and rotating military can care less--they're just punching the clock until they move on to the next thing. Civilian staff are intimidated and hide in their offices. It's a shocking waste of taxpayer dollars.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Rewarding to serve at this institution and in the Coast Guard
Cons
COVID created a major disruption, but the institution was resilient.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
An institution with conflicting priorities and vague direction.
May 30, 2022 - O4 - Lieutenant Commander in New London, CTRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Working with Cadets is a rewarding experience of mentorship.
Cons
High premium placed on control and dominance as organizational values. Very little interest in "excellence" when compared to the warm blanked of failure avoidance. Abnormally high rate of officers who fail to promote on account of their tour at the Academy. Low opportunities for responsibility, supervision, or career success.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good job, good people, good experience.
Cons
The command is hypocritical and does not listen to the cadets.
